The Woodlands, Texas to host championship in November Triathlon One O One announced the venues for their new North
American triathlon series featuring an exciting new distance
that is taking the multisport world by storm. The
announcement, made at Town Green Park in The Woodlands, site of
the 2007 Triathlon One O One World Championship, came with
marked excitement from local triathletes and national industry
representatives in attendance. The Triathlon One O One series features a 1.86mi/3K swim,
followed by a 80.8mi/130K bike, and finishes with a 18.6mi/30K
run - a total distance of 101.06 miles. The series will launch
in May in Florida, visiting California in June, Nova Scotia in
September, and culminating in November with the Triathlon One O
One World Championship in Texas. The series will expand to a total of 20 events worldwide in
2008. Each Triathlon One O One event will feature a $50,000
USD prize purse and be limited to the first 1,500 age group
participants. The Championship event will offer a $150,000
professional prize purse with a field limited to 2,000
participants from North America and abroad. Triathlon One O One has brought together industry leaders in
the event production and multisport business industry with the
sole purpose of bringing a new brand of world class long
distance racing to the multisport world. We are focused on the
participant first; taking into consideration the many positive
attributes of the current long distance racing scene and adding
what we believe encompass many of the missing elements that
keep events from being customer and family friendly. We will strive to offer the best customer service and
communication through our website and local race director
blogs. Participants will be treated to world class events and
destination locations that were chosen based on tremendous
community support. We've listened to many triathletes worldwide
and have been given the feedback we feel is necessary to
satisfy the many wants and needs of the long distance
triathlete. 2007 Triathlon One O One Schedule
